I hope you enjoyed my AUTHENTIC haiku about the Academy Awards.  There are layers of hidden meanings in this haiku.  Comment below with your analysis.

One-On-One

One-On-One

Tonight's democratic debate featured Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders arguing over who is better fit to serve as president.  The New Hampshire primary is on Tuesday, and this debate was Hillary's chance to get more support in a state that she is likely to lose.

The Democratic debate is now a one-on-one format, because the third candidate polling at more than one percent, Martin O'Malley, dropped out after his disappointing performance at the Iowa caucus.  The debate is a lot different without MOM's humor and sob stories.  The debate is about the issues, rather than playing on the heartstrings of those watching.

The biggest takeaway from this debate for me is that Bernie is overrated.  Many young people and celebrities like his socialist positions, as they pander to people that don't understand how money works.  He flaunts around ideas like universal healthcare and free college even though these things are not currently possible.  Congress would not allow these plans to pass, and he would fall through on all of these promises.

On top of his inability to fulfill campaign promises, Sanders does not know how to communicate with foreign leaders.  When asked who the largest threat is among Iran, Russia, and North Korea, Sanders said that he feared North Korea the most.  Anyone with an ounce of knowledge in the realm of global politics could tell you that North Korea is a threat.  Their entire platform is built around using scare tactics and threatening rhetoric in order to get free food from other countries.  There is nothing to fear from a country so poor and weak that their entire governmental system would collapse from the death of one person.

Bernie Sanders is an idealist; he is a dreamer.  Unfortunately, dreams aren't real, and neither are his proposals.  Bernie Sanders will not live up to people's expectations.  We need a real leader instead; we need Donald Trump.
